Democrats Are Attacking Patriots

Patriots were once revered. Today, love for ideology has replaced patriotism. The Tea Party was founded in the spirit of the original tea party in Boston when “rabble rousers” dumped chests of tea into Boston Harbor. They protested a penny tax on tea when laborers sometimes made a few cents per day. We fought the French and Indian War as British citizens and Parliament spent a considerable amount on the conflict and needed to be repaid. Since most people drank tea, it was logical to raise a small tax on it to pay for the war. Like now, the people didn’t like paying higher taxes. The Revolution let us gain our freedom from England so we could become the greatest nation in the world.

Democrats are vicious attackers of today’s patriots. The Tea Party was founded to oppose Obamacare, higher taxes, and the expansion of the government. We have seen what nationalized health care in other countries has produced. There are long medical waiting times, reduction in care, and other costly problems. Obamacare is proving to be worse than predicted even though pre-existing conditions, something that would bankrupt many insurance companies, are being covered. If 5 million pre-existing medical conditions cost an average of $300,000 a year to cover, that would be a $15 trillion expense by 2023.

Elderly mothers who lost their brothers during WW II and their sons in Vietnam and still love America would agree that they pay too much in taxes. They also receive too little in Social Security payments because the system was not privatized a little to help the economy grow more. They paid into Medicare and expect it to be there when they need it. But since Obama transferred around $710 billion in Medicare funding to Obamacare and doctors are dropping out of the system (since the government isn’t paying them in full), the elderly mother who lost important men in her life is being punished by the government, even though she is a patriot.

When I hear Democrats say that Obamacare is the law, I hear “Dixie” because Democrats used to support slavery when it was the law of the land. The Republican Party was founded to oppose slavery since the Whigs weren’t doing enough to abolish it. Republicans fought the Civil War and gave blacks their civil rights in the Constitution. But Democrats in the South didn’t want to treat former property as equals. That is one reason why they stole civil rights from blacks (and it took decades for them to get their rights back.) Every time the Voting Rights Act is renewed (though according to the Constitution, the states aren’t allowed to abridge the rights of anyone to vote), it’s as if a scab is ripped from a wound that is healing. A bill that was paid over 130 years ago is being repaid every few years. We can thank Democrats in part for the suffering every time. Blacks who escape the Democrat plantation are being attacked by Democrats, even though they are patriots who care more for America than Liberal ideology. I have seen blacks in Tea Party gatherings who aren’t tokens (like what Democrats often treat blacks as.) Democrats are saying “forget about the lynchings our grandparents committed against blacks. Forget that pets were often treated better than blacks were.” The desire Democrats have to make people forget their ugly past convinces me that the donkey symbol for the party should be replaced by a wandering Alzheimer’s patient.

Do you support lower taxes because it would allow Americans to keep more of their money? Democrats would accuse you of being a Tea Party member. Do you think it’s wrong to pay much higher premiums for health care insurance because it is forced to cover too many conditions? Then you must be like Ted Cruz, who also opposes what a generation ago would also be opposed by most Americans. Do you think balancing your household budget makes so much sense that Washington should do the same thing? To Liberals, you are almost evil incarnate.

Patriots love America and want the best for it. They believe in fair play, justice for all, an American lifestyle that allows them to live a comfortable life until the day they die, high standards, and a moral society that doesn’t consider God a swear word. But Democrat leaders declare patriots as enemies of the state. That would include the elderly woman who proudly salutes the flag, sings the National Anthem when it is played, says “God bless you” to veterans who come her way, goes to church every Sunday to be nearer God, and complains when Washington wastes the money she sends to the government. To Democrats, such people should at least change with the times. Germans tried that when Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power. But that change brought the destruction of Germany.

Patriotism is being treated like a mental disorder, and Democrats want to commit a societal lobotomy to remove that portion of our brain. The removal of traditional patriotism from our minds is more than terrible. The soul of Americans will also be removed, which will allow this nation to be added to the list of empires and nations that have disintegrated. If Democrats get their way, patriotism that made America great will be exterminated as if it were a disease instead of a sustaining force for America.”

Democrats and the White House want to put the blame for the shutdown of the Federal Government on the House Republicans, especially those who align themselves with the Tea Party. (I wonder if “blame” is the correct word – perhaps praise would be better?)

At the center of the debate is President Obama’s landmark legislation “The Affordable Health Care Act” (a.k.a. ObamaCare).

What I find incredibly arrogant and self-serving, coming from the Democrat spin doctors (and their willing accomplices in the media), are the facts surrounding the passage of this legislation and their short term memory of the shenanigans they had to employ in order to ram through the two thousand plus page law (which no one read, but Nancy Pelosi claims they did) in order to get it to the President’s desk for his signature.

Lest we forget, ObamaCare was not (and still is not) popular with the American people. Every poll declared this truth. But the Dem’s won the presidency in 2008 and already had control of the House and the Senate since 2006. Elections, we were told, had consequences.

The Senate required sixty votes to get the bill passed and they had it. This long established rule appeared to make the upcoming debate over health care a sure thing.

Even though the Republicans were in the minority, they were promised they would be invited to the negotiating table and the proceedings would be broadcast live on C-Span (see video below). Needless to say, this was a bold-faced lie.

Alas, as a result of the death of Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), the nation’s hope of stopping the Federal Governments attempts to take over one sixth of the nation’s economy dangled on a Republican hopeful who was vying for the vacant Senate seat. Much to the surprise of many, Scott Brown won and the sixty votes needed to pass socialized medicine fell short in the Senate by one vote.

The Democrats were in a tizzy. They were so close, they could almost taste it. But now their dreams of an emerging socialist utopia were dashed. How could they overcome this defeat? Simple! They were in the majority, so they reasoned, and so they broke continuity with Senate rules deciding that a simple majority was all that was needed (Elections no longer had consequences)! ObamaCareLess, as I like to call it, became the unpopular law of the land.

If the Democrats had been honest and forthright back in 2010, then perhaps the events of today would not be unfolding. I, for one, hope the Republicans will break with their compromising past, and remember these events and the shameful way the people of this country and themselves were treated back then. My message to Speaker Boehner – don’t give them an inch! Elections no longer had consequences!”

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” conservative commentator Michelle Malkin slammed Republicans and Democrats in Congress for failing to end the so-called diversity visa lottery program, an immigration policy that’s been under fire for being exploited by foreign terror suspects. Malkin attacked the GOP-led Congress for not having already en […]

Wednesday on NBC’s “Megan Kelly Today,” the host of “Meet the Press” Chuck Todd said President Donald Trump “seems to get more enraged when a woman criticizes him than when a man.” While discussing Trump’s tweet saying Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) would “do anything” for campaign contributions Todd said, “You know, what’s interesting is about how he reacte […]

Obviously, the GOP would be in a much better position right now if only Republicans had learned to hang on my every word. Instead, everyone did exactly the wrong thing, and they got the worst of all possible worlds.

Steve Bannon is supposedly the reason for this disaster, not the Republican Establishment. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board claims that “Alabama Sends a Message.” Indeed it does, which is why the WSJ is anxious to tell you what it is before you decide on your own. They think the message is that Steve Bannon […]

Let me get this headline straight; “transgender people can enlist in military Jan 1.” One question, why, where is the need and is our military that short of warm bodies? OK, so it’s a multiple question but you get the idea! Sure, we get it but what about that useless Pentagon? I defy anyone to […]

The Hill reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has confirmed that he is not firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller from the Russian interference investigation because he does not see cause to do so. Rosenstein faced tough questions from Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday amid revelations that FBI officials on Mueller’s team h […]

Parents, please teach your children the importance of not bullying! It is something that needs to be instilled young so that they remember it throughout their life.. Just last week, a porn star killed herself after being viciously bullied for her refusal to make a video with a man she was to comfortable with. After […]

Would you bring a thief into your home and say, ” I hope he does the right thing and doesn’t steal from me”? What about a murderer, and hope he does the right thing by not murdering you? No, you wouldn’t do that. So what on earth makes the GOP so foolishly think that elected […]

The Alabama special election to fill a U.S. Senate was extremely important. Democratic candidate Doug Jones took the win against Conservative candidate Judge Roy Moore. As I look at social media platforms and listen to the news following the election, I see just how much influence the media has over people. Roy Moore had the […]

Some think Homeland is criticizing Trump, but the villain is obviously modeled on President Clinton. Like many others in the media, the writers for the Homeland TV series expected Season 7 to air with President Clinton in the Oval office. But that didn’t happen. The world of Homeland diverged even more from the real world. […]

MPs and others have signed a petition calling for border control so that a conservative Christian is blocked from entering the U.K. Even members of Parliament who don’t see a problem with mass Islamic immigration want border control when it comes to Franklin Graham. But they don’t seem to be aware of the irony. It […]

It was a horrible week for the mainstream media, one that even the mainstream media had to acknowledge. While CNN makes lame “honest mistake” excuses, everyone knows the mainstream media had a horrible week. The common feature in these self-inflicted injuries was a desperation to see Donald Trump’s Presidency face a crisis and an overwhelming […]

The city of Jerusalem in present-day Israel has been host to a violent history. Since it was established by King David as his capital in the 4th millennium, B.C., the city has changed hands countless times, being under the control of empires from the ancient Babylonians to the 20th Century Ottomans. As of Dec. 6… The post Here’s What Happened to Christians a […]

The White House has been a dedicated critic of “fake news,” particularly in recent weeks as some of the biggest names in journalism have been forced to issue corrections and retractions after publishing inaccurate or unsubstantiated reports.

If you listen to the mainstream media, and only the mainstream media, you would probably come to the conclusion that President Donald Trump is a white nationalist racist. But again, that’s if you only listened to what the major news outlets were saying. The truth is that while the left-wing media lies, numbers do not.… The post “Racist” Trump Provides More J […]

It’s hard to believe that a tyrannical dictatorship like North Korea and the leftist organization Planned Parenthood have something in common. Or is it? North Korea and Planned Parenthood share a simple, but important, similarity: They love killing babies. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley recently held a meeting on the human rights situation in… The p […]

It’s no secret that North Korea is an extremely strange place… but the Hermit Kingdom just got even more bizarre. A spike in the number of so-called “ghost ships” being found washed up on Japan’s coast are an eerie clue that the regime may be teetering on the brink of collapse. The name “ghost ship”… The post New “Ghost Ships” From KJU Signal the Implosion o […]

According to Deadspin, Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis are accused of committing sexual harassment against a wardrobe stylist who worked… The post ESPN Reeling, […]

Almost every country in the world has signed or accepted the Geneva Conventions. These are the rules of war that protect soldiers and civilians, outlining what is acceptable. Combat medics have a special status under these rules, and must be “respected and protected in all circumstances.” With this status comes a host of other obligations.… The post Army Med […]

On this week's edition of The Watchman, we analyze the growing ISIS threat to America in the wake of the Paris attacks. We also examine how Europe's capital, Brussels, is in the crosshairs of radical Islamists. Watch below:

Cross posted at erickstakelbeck.com Details are still pouring in about last night’s horrific jihadist massacre in Paris. Although ISIS has claimed responsibility for the carnage, we still don’t know, as of this writing, the identities of the eight jihadists who carried out the slaughter at multiple venues. Were they all French citizens? Were they “returnees” […]

RUSH: Man, oh, man, a lot of crabby people out there. I'm hearing from I don't know how many, but it's more than I can count. I mean, the crabbiness, it's all over the place. It's kind of invigorating in and of itself.

RUSH: I'm gonna tell you: If you're in politics and you've ever looked at a woman the wrong way you can expect a woman, at some point, to go public and say so. In fact, because of the success Democrats had with this, it's entirely possible that men who haven't done a single thing in terms of mistreating a woman, abusing her or harass […]

RUSH: The Republicans are supposed to be committing suicide today. The Republicans are supposed to be depressed and down in the dumps and running around asking for Prozac and Jack Daniel's and so forth. And instead they got together in their conference report and they came out with a tax cut bill. This is just not supposed to happen. Trump's not su […]

RUSH: Trump apparently didn't have enough dirt in his normally lived life for them to go after him. So they spend millions of dollars to have some English spy write 36 fictional pages. They call it a dossier. And it forms the basis of an investigation designed to impeach Donald Trump. It would be hilarious if it were not for the hell that they' […]

RUSH: Amidst all of these guilty Democrats being forced to resign, like Al Franken and Weinstein, all of them, the Democrat Party forcing them out so that they can have a clear run at Donald Trump on the same thing. And now here comes Marcy Kaptur overheard in a private Democrat caucus meeting blaming the women!

RUSH: No longer is this just gonna be a long list of stories that I might mention on the program. Now, you will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time. It's going to be more of a real-time base feature rather than just a generic list of places that I g […]

RUSH: On Tuesday, 59 liberal congresswomen … demanded Congress look into old allegations against President Trump. These accusations were fought out – and settled – during the presidential campaign. But the opposition party is raising them again … for political gain.

RUSH: They are throwing a lot of Democrat elected officials and others overboard on sexual harassment allegations, and it's clear why. Trump's the target next -- which means, I guess, the Russian collusion thing ain't working out the way they had planned.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that it will cost an additional $295 billion over the next four years to execute President Donald Trump’s plans to rebuild the military. Their calculation was done by comparing the current Budget Control Act defense caps with the Trump budget outline. Those budget caps, established in 2011, limit how much Congress ma […]

The attempted suicide bombing by Akayed Ullah in New York on Monday is the 101st Islamist plot or attack against the U.S. homeland since 9/11. While the device did not succeed in causing the destruction that Ullah wished, the U.S. must redouble its commitment to stopping terrorists before they strike.

Last year, liberal lawmakers wanted to bail out the United Mine Workers of America’s pension plan to the tune of roughly $6 billion. This year, they’re at it again, except on a larger scale. Under pressure from a few very large and politically powerful plans—including the United Mine Workers of America and the Central States Trucking Union—liberal lawmakers […]
